Having way too much fun scrapbooking!

Three months old

We have been having some good times lately. Will's brother Scott is here for some R and R from his current tour in Iraq. We have been hanging out with him, his wife and their little girl and Will's parents while they are in town. If you want to see some pictures of activites visit Scott and Alisha's blog. We went bowling on Saturday, Colton loved the lights.

Colton has turned three months old. He is doing amazing things now. Last Thursday he rolled over for the first time and I was so excited I put him back on his stomach three more times just to watch him do it! He has now rolled both to the left and to the right. I'm not sure he knows what he is doing but he is happier on his back. Here is a picture of him just before he rolled over.

We recently went out to dinner with some friends in Logan. Mike and Jamie just had a little boy, Gavin, 10 days after Colton was born. They were both asleep when this picture was taken but we hope they will be friends when they grow up.

We are so excited that some of Will's old buddies from Oregon are also having boys. Josh and April are due sometime in May, I think, and Christian and Rachelle are due in March! My brother Alan and his wife are also expecting a boy in May. Yeah for boys!!

Here are a few more pictures of the cute baby and daddy!

A New Year

Well, it's a new year. Last year was a good one and I really look forward to the next. Christmas was a fun day spent with family, unfortunately I don't have many pictures. I didn't even take a picture of our christmas tree. But we have a few of Colton on Christmas morning. He wasn't quite sure what we were doing with him.

Will thought it would be fun to put Colton on the Basketball hoop his cousins got for Christmas, but he wasn't very stable. Maybe you'll get one in a couple of years bud.

I have gone back to work and he is being watched by a very nice neighbor. He enjoys his time over there and her girls just love him! It's nice knowing he is well taken care of.

We did finally catch a pretty good smile on camera. My next goal is to check him laughing on video. He just started giggling a few days ago and it is so cute, but so hard to catch him doing it. When I do I will post it to share!

2 months and so fun

Colton is now 2 months old and we can hardly believe it. We love watching him grow and change each day. He is smiling up a storm and it makes me so happy to see that smile!! On friday, in the lovely snow storm, he had to go to the doctor to get his 2 month check up and his shots. He did so well, he only cried while they were giving the shots. I have never seen him turn so red, but when they were done and I picked him up he stopped crying and that was it. He did have a rough evening but I think it was more due to his colic than the shots. He is getting so big. He now ways 12 lbs 3 oz (65%) and is 23 inches (52%) and while he doesn't have a daddy sized head it is 15.9 inches (62%).

Almost smiling. Every time I pull out the camera he stops smiling!

Here he is chillin in daddy's arms.

I just love the expression on his face!

Fun With Digital Scrapbooking

So, I am not one of the most creative people, especially when given paper, scissors, glue, pictures, and maybe some stickers. But, my sister-in-law Alisha introduced me to digital scrapbooking. It is addicting!! Here are a few pages I have created of our beautiful baby.

November has come and gone

It has been a while since my last post so I have some catching up to do. Colton is one month! It's hard to believe how fast time flies and how much he has changed since he was born. Some of the funny things he does is, he won't sleep anywhere but his swing unless it is in a dark room. It is great at night because I feed him, change him and then lay him down and he goes to sleep, but try that during the day, no way! He likes to stick his tongue out and when he gets excited he breathes really fast and throws his arms out. He is getting really good at holding his head up and he likes to watch people walk around if he is in his bouncer. We just love watching him grow!

He Loves to sleep in his swing wrapped up super tight!

Today was his baby blessing. He was blessed by his dad at our ward house surrounded by lots of family. His grandmas and great grandmas sure love him!

We have had some exciting things happen around the house too! We are almost done with the kitchen face lift. It looks 100 times better than it did before. Unfortunately I don't think I have any before pictures but here is an after pictures. You can see we still have a little work to do but it is coming along!

On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, our main water line broke! It is really hard to be in a house that has no water!! Luckily we have an awesome ward and a neighbor who has a backhoe that came and dug up the front yard for us and helped us replace the line. We had water back on the same day! We couldn't have done it within his help!! He are some of the pictures of the massive hole in the front yard.

Halloween pics

Here are some super cute pictures my sister-in-law Jenny, Susie Q Portraits, took of our little Tiger! We decided to stay in on Halloween since it started to rain and he is still so little so we don't have any other photos.
